Adventures On County Commission
Sounds like a best seller! Mark Harmon has been a great Commissioner.
Truth or Fiction
Those four years were so outrageous that the book will have to be on the fiction shelves because otherwise nobody will believe it!
I generally like the guy, and
I generally like the guy, and his politics, but he is a bit pretentious.
Can't wait to read it!
Can't wait to read it!
I think it's a great idea!
There needs to be a book written about how the events,from Jan. 1st of '06 till Sept 1st of '10,shaped Knox County government for decades to come.
Mark has a wonderful way with words & is the right guy
to write the history of this very intersting time in our history.
Just imagine where the Mark Harmon for County Commission campaign was on that New Years Day of '06 & how it ended in August of '06.
And the 4 years Mark served,like Pam commented,the truth was stranger than fiction.
I look foward to reading Mark's book.
